We (the Grasshopper Group) have been trying to figure this out for a while,
since we're trying to sell a software product for A/UX (MacNews).  I called
Wendy Weinstein in Apple Customer Relations (+1 408 996 1010) and got
the following information.

As of this week, there are 7 (seven) dealers in the world who are
allowed to sell A/UX.  None of them are permitted to sell by mail order,
so if you don't live near one, go get a PC Clone and Xenix instead.
(Or buy a Sun -- though Sun makes it almost this hard to buy machines.)

The dealers:  (drum roll...)

Alpha Computers			Lake Oswego, OR		503 636 7208
Computer & Software House	Oak Ridge, TN		615 481 0014
Computer Madness		Englishtown, NJ		201 462 9696
Eastern Computer		Knoxville, TN		615 584 8365
Microcomputer Systems		Bellevue, WA		206 455 8822
Microcomputer Systems		Linwood, WA		206 778 7337
Vista Computer Center		S. Plainfield, NJ	201 769 0040

There may be some typos in this; I got it over the phone.  But I
figured with Apple posting useful answers like: "Is A/UX available?"
"Yes.", that somebody had better provide some real information here.
